Just about every business in every industry collects sensitive information from a variety of sources; client databases, online and offline payment transactions, websites and surveys are just some of the avenues from which your business may collect valuable data.

It has never been more important for businesses to have control over their information.

The mandatory data breach notification laws in force in Australia, together with the online migration of many operational aspects of a business, now mean your business will fall under international privacy laws and jurisdictions.

We regularly advise on:

• planning against data breach events
• how to respond in the early stages of a data breach event
• advising on subsequent disclosure obligations and recovery from participants
• guidance on responding to queries from law enforcement and other regulatory bodies
• procurement and implementation of cyber insurance programs, including assisting with claims
• advising on overseas privacy and data security compliance matters including in the United States, UK and EU under the GDPR regulations
